You're listening to Antisemitism Watch, I'm Rachel Adler.

Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen has been targeted on his campaign accounts with antisemitic and threatening social media posts. According to faith leaders who reported on the incident, these posts included hateful messages like "Go back to Israel, you dumb traitor, terrorist F-word," and direct threats such as "Death will come to you soon." The messages also invoked the dual-loyalty trope, falsely claiming his Jewish faith disqualified him from impartial enforcement and that he was more loyal to his religion than to his country. The rabbi and Muslim leader who wrote about this stated that this type of hatred is familiar to communities targeted by bigotry.

Host Tucker Carlson called a guest's dismissal of algebra as "fake math" for "good little goy slaves" "amazing." Reporting notes this incident reflects Carlson's ongoing pattern of antisemitic rhetoric, often linked to conspiracy theories.

In Sweden, according to Jewish organizations, heightened concern over antisemitic rhetoric and threats has led the Swedish Left Party to remove eight election candidates due to antisemitism and extremist posts.

Separately, reports indicate that anti-Israel activists in New York are recycling the "greedy Jewish landlords" trope, which is described as an "altneu" form of antisemitism.

Amidst these developments, JD Vance has defended his friendship with Tucker Carlson amid rising tensions within the GOP concerning antisemitism and foreign policy stances.

Turning to institutional responses, the Anti-Defamation League reports a "real shift" in how Harvard University is handling antisemitism. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt credited Harvard President Alan M. Garber's leadership and pressure from alumni for the changes. Harvard's antisemitism report card grade rose from an F in April 2024 to a C in March 2025, and the university received a C again in 2026. Greenblatt highlighted the establishment of a presidential task force on antisemitism and a new Office for Community Support, while also stating that antisemitism remains too prevalent for a higher grade.

In terms of community security, reports indicate a significant allocation of $1 billion for securing U.S. Jewish communities. However, a tavern is reportedly fearing closure due to "appalling" antisemitic abuse that has driven away customers, as Emma Sudano reported.

Finally, some positive developments: reports indicate Ukrainians are learning Yiddish, suggesting a cultural engagement. And the Jewish Agency chief has stated that the October 7th attack and the subsequent rise in antisemitism since 2023 are dramatically changing the conversation and driving aliyah, or immigration to Israel.
